The Black Dog, owned by super-hostess Alex Duggins, is usually everyone’s favourite watering hole. But not tonight. The regulars just heard that one of their own is dead. His body is found sprawled across the stage of the Playing Fields barn. A knife buried in his back. In life, he loved to tread the boards as an amateur player. Now someone’s made a twisted show of his death. Detective Dan O’Reilly is on the case, following a trail that leads straight to Alex’s pub. He says the killer has claimed at least one other victim. The police found the battered body at the local cricket grounds. Posed in the same eerie manner. They’ve killed before. It’s only a matter of time before they kill again. But with no witnesses, no leads and not a shred of evidence, the investigation is going nowhere fast. As much as village sleuth Alex wants to help, she has other matters on her mind. Matters even closer to her heart. Just when it seems her dream wedding is finally within reach, someone from her fiancé’s past reaches out to threaten all that Alex holds dear. Are they who they claim to be, and what do they really want with Alex and her man . . . ?
